Eddie Van Halen is most known for his use of Kramer guitars, however the next most desirable is the Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar. For a brief period of time Eddie could be seen rocking out with his Ernie Ball 5150 Guitar throughout the mid 1990s. Back in 1995, Eddie worked with Timberland at Converse to make some custom shoes, which are iconic in itself. Afterwards, Eddie gifted an employee one of his Ernie Ball Guitars and signed it with the inscription, “Thanks for the shoes Peter!!!! And everyone at Converse Eddie Van Halen 1995”. You can see Eddie holding a similar guitar in the 1991 edition of the “Guitar Magazine for the Practicing Musician” while Eddie is wearing his iconic converse shoes. This guitar comes from Eddie's personal collection, and it was said to have been played by Eddie during studio sessions. Comes with a letter of provenance and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
